By Manal Soliman
The Judicial Board elections will begin in a few days with six nominees. The students running for the elections are: Harasa El-Sald, Heba }
Lamloum, Khaled Hegab, Khaled Hegazi, Mohamed Ismail and Tamer Wahba.
Several of these,
candidates expressed dis- j pleasure wlt'h current AUC students conduct, which the SJB monitors.
The primary function of the board, which consists of five members elected each semester, is "to review complaints about students and to take disciplinary action against the guilty parties."
Hamsa El-Said, Economics graduating senior and current Student Union member, said action needs to be taken on the unethical attitude of some newcomers at AUC.
"They do not act the way they should according to Egyptian culture," she said. Even foreign
students respect the
traditions of the country t'^ey are in,she added.
i.'ohamed Ismail, Mechanical Engineering senior and a present Judicial Board member running for re-election, agrees with Hamsa .
Some outsiders have a negative view of AUC, he claims, which the SJB mus t c oun ter.
ANOTHER VOICE SPEAKS
By Hanan Kilani
It's not off the wall, it's on the wall.
"The Voice," the new wall newspaper hanging in the AUC student lounge, offers an alternative forum for student problems, opinions, and creative work.

"Published" actually means displayed; according to Egyptian regulations, AUC may publish only one campus newspaper, Caravan. Caravan, however, is restricted in covering controversial issues, which "The Voice" intends to address.
Its first issue presented, among other stories, a poem, and photographs, a story on student apathy toward the Green Desert reclamation project slide show, a response to Galal el Hamamsy's drive to raise funds for Egypt's
debts, and an imaginary dialogue between an American and a Palestinian, highlighting American apathy toward the Palestinian cause.

By Mervat Shoukry
"AUC looks wealthy. AUC is not wealthy," President Richard F. Pedersen said Tuesday.

salaries take up 46 percent, creating a deficit, he sa id.
The deficit is covered by American aid, which provides 18 percent of the budget, and the rest is provided by endowmen ts and yearly contributions, said Pedersen.
AUC is certainly paying the price for its high quality education, he said.
